GRoUNDING INSTRUCTIoNS

This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a 120V -
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in Figure A.
A temporary adapter may be used to
connect this plug to a non grounded outlet
if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug
or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it
must be held in place by a metal screw.
(Figure. B).
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
WARNING:
Improper connection
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
